Hi there! I already created a ticket regarding this matter, but I think this thicket requires some discussion prior to crafting a solution. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28554
The django.db.models.FileField currently allows only to store a single file URL. This behavior seems outdated considering that input[type=file] supports a multiple attribute, which is supported by all major Browsers. See: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_multiple.asp I would suggest to have a similar attribute on the database field itself, as well as on the form field and widget. The major point for discussion would be how to store the data. The easiest would be to coma separate the paths in a single char field. The major concern here would be the lack of atomicity. For databases like Postgres I would be sensical to use the ArrayField as an underlying structure. Another way for serialisation would be the use of JSONs in a char field. All solutions based on a text or char field have an issue related to the compatibility with the current FileField which is limited to 100 characters. The type would need to be migrated to a text type or the length would need to be increased. The latter options bares the question to which point. Another approach would be to defer the storage issue and only provide support for multiple files on form level. This would mean to add a multiple attribute to the form field and widget. Users would be able to create forms with multiple files in a single field and handle storage according to their preference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
